About the Game

Welcome to the ultimate kitchen playground for players who want skill, freedom, and a little bit of chaos.

Cooking Simulator gives you full control of a pro-level kitchen packed with tools, ingredients, and physics-driven systems that make every action feel alive. Learn the craft, chase perfection, or set everything on fire just to see what happens. 

YOUR KITCHEN, YOUR RULES

This is your full chef arsenal: ovens, grills, gas burners, pots, pans, plates, knives, blenders, mixers, and more. Stock your pantry with over 140 ingredients including meats, fish, veggies, fruits, dairy, oils, liquids, herbs, and spices. 

Everything reacts to your hands. Heat it, cool it, slice it, spill it, burn it, break it. If you can try it in a real kitchen, you can pull it off here. 

REAL PHYSICS. REAL COOKING. REAL CHAOS. 

Every move matters. Pouring soup, flipping steaks, cutting vegetables, tossing ingredients, or knocking something off the counter all play out with real physics. 

Go for perfect execution or create the kind of disasters only a videogame kitchen can survive. 

CHOOSE YOUR PLAYSTYLE

Career Mode

Build your reputation from the ground up. Learn techniques, unlock 80+ recipes, improve your timing, speed, and consistency, and grow your restaurant’s fame. Pick perks and skills that fit your cooking style and become a kitchen legend. 

Sandbox Mode 

No pressure. No rules. Infinite freedom. 

Mess around with every tool, recipe, and ingredient right away. Build dishes, run experiments, or push the physics engine to absolute chaos. 

Stack cutting boards like dominoes, throw knives, light the kitchen on fire, blow up the oven, then save the day with a fire extinguisher. It’s your playground. 

KEY FEATURES

  • Career and Sandbox modes for structured progression or full creative freedom

  • 80+ recipes ranging from beginner-friendly to chef-tier 

  • 140+ realistic ingredients with real-time reactions 

  • Advanced cooking mechanics based on temperature, timing, and precision 

  • Perks and skills to boost speed, stability, and control 

  • A fully interactive kitchen loaded with pro tools 

  • Physics-driven fun that rewards skill - and hilariously punishes chaos 

Master the craft, break the rules, or burn the whole place down. It’s your kitchen. Your call.

On paper, it sounds boring. Why cook in a game when you can cook in real life and get something out of it? But I assure you, it is more fun than it seems. I dunno, I prefer fast-paced games, but this game is a breath of

fun game, physics can be a little iffy, and the base game without the DLCs feels more like a demo than a full game, but overall a very fun experience, played darts with knives for hours

Its a very fun game, you can use recipes or do whatever the heck you want-however it does get extremely frustrating. And I understand that its sort of supposed to be hard to hold or pour things, but I also know that the
